“Reefer Madness, the
Musical” is once again lighting
up the Waterfront Playhouse!
Rave reviews and sold-out
houses made this show the ‘hit’
of last season. It runs only until
April 12, with performances
Tuesday through Sunday evenings.
Based on the 1936 propaganda
movie, this outrageously
twisted musical of sex, drugs
and show tunes is the brainchild
of Dan Studney and Kevin
Murphy, who wrote the book,
lyrics and music.
Danny Weathers, the
Waterfront’s Artistic Director,
directs “Reefer Madness” with
a fantastically talented cast of
fourteen. He has also assembled
the same technical team that
wowed audiences last year.
“Reefer Madness” tells
the story of Jimmy Harper,
an upstanding youth who becomes
a whacked-out pot fiend
after just one ‘toke’ of the evil
reefer. We first meet Jimmy and
his plucky girlfriend Mary Lane
(wink) at the local soda shop.
Mary informs Jimmy that she’s
entered them into a dance contest.
Just one problem— Jimmy
can’t dance.
Enter Jack, the evil pot
pusher, who trolls the soda shop
for his teenage victims. Jack assures
Jimmy he can teach him
to dance, and brings Jimmy to
his Reefer Den…of evil! Here he
meets a group of tainted misfits
and is immediately sucked into
a world of weed freaks, orgies,
hallucinations and brownies!
The cast is a mind-blowing
high of talent that includes
David Black, Denis Hyland,
Mary Falconer, Marc Crow,
Kristen Bussiere, Nulita Loder,
Michael Aaglan, Kristen Wilson,
Carolyn Cooper, Rhett
Kalman, Kyla Piscopink, Leigh
Pujado, Scott Shambaugh and
Phil Tabb.
Audience Advisory:
“Reefer Madness” is a highlystylized
show that contains
adult humor, suggested violence,
sexual situations, religious
parody and simulated
marijuana use.
